Because only residents can enter the Namiki House, we created a VR video utilizing patented technology to give you a more realistic viewing experience.
Please enjoy seeing the walk from the back alley from the approach to Zōshigaya Kishimojin Shrine, and the 360° view of the inside of the Namiki House taken with a 360° camera.
